Welcome to Wicked Rae's.
Wicked Rae’s is the only fully immersive, fully private splatter and sensory art studio of its kind in the world.
We don’t teach art - we guide people back to themselves. Our process-based workshops invite you to roll in paint, paint barefoot, paint in a full body paint suit, or even paint in your underwear if you want (think bathing suit vibes - it’s all about comfort and freedom).
Once you’re in the splatter room, we close the curtains, the black lights shift the colors, and you get the chance to just be you - no audience, no judgment, only the people you bring.
Every group gets a freshly laid canvas floor, a sterilized studio and restroom, fresh towels, and locked doors so your experience stays yours. We hand-fill every paint balloon, prep every texture station, and design every detail so you don’t have to think - just feel. You’ll explore, experiment, fail, laugh, and rediscover your own style.
Our experiences go beyond splatter into 3D–5D builds with clay, wire, recycled materials, LED lights, mini Coraline dolls, paper pulp, skateboards, cosplay props, and anything your hands can dream up.
We’re small by design and we travel because we love what we do. Families reconnect here. Friends make memories here. Teams see each other as humans again - especially when someone gets to smash a paint balloon on their boss.
Our workshops run 24 hours a day, Wednesday through Sunday, because we work with humans who live busy lives and we create sessions for their schedule. We travel anywhere to bring the experience to you - families, friends, and teams who want to laugh until they cry, fail gloriously, and rediscover joy together.
Bring us to your next event - community gatherings, private celebrations, weddings, retreats, or corporate offsites. We love traveling to you and making it effortless to play again.
If you’re experimental, curious, and love to learn through play, you’ll fit right in.
Bones
Fish
Co-Founder + CMO + BFF
I help customers feel loved.
Bones‑Fish is the studio dog, co‑founder, emotional support creature, and unofficial therapist of Wicked Rae’s. He met Oakley when she was small and needed something steady, and he’s been her shadow - and ours - ever since. Bones has traveled the country, survived blizzards, camped under redwoods, endured questionable dress‑up sessions, and claimed Oakley’s bed as his own. He tucks her in every night, supervises every workshop, and greets every human like they’re already part of the pack. Bones is the reminder at the center of Wicked Rae’s: presence heals, play matters, and joy is a thing you practice.
Oakley
Rae
Co-Founder + Creative Director + Artist
I create spaces for others to feel seen and heard.
Oakley Rae is the creative heartbeat of Wicked Rae’s - a lifelong maker who grew up building worlds out of cardboard, clay, wire, and whatever she could get her hands on. She’s the designer behind our handmade hats, miniatures, props, and the whimsical, eerie, Coraline‑coded details that give the studio its signature feel. Oakley brings a fearless, intuitive approach to art that reminds people how to follow their curiosity instead of the rules. She’s spent her whole life creating alongside Jules, and Wicked Rae’s is the place where her imagination finally has room to run. She believes everything deserves a second life.
Jules
McVey
Co-Founder + CVO + Artist
Art is how the unrecorded life keeps speaking.
Jules McVey is the architect behind Wicked Rae’s - a creator who spent years making art for the History Channel, Discovery Channel, and MPH Entertainment before moving into neurology, sleep medicine, firefighting, and organizational psychology. With two decades studying stress, the nervous system, and human behavior, she built Wicked Rae’s as a sensory‑rich, full‑body art studio where people can drop their guard, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover play. Every part of the space - the black lights, the warmth, the movement, the freedom - is designed from her research and lived experience to help people feel lighter, braver, and more alive.
Our mission.
Our mission is to help a million humans laugh.
That's the count we're going for.
We're also creating eco-friendly paint and we utilize recycled materials whenever we can to help minimize our carbon footprint.
We love helping the odd ducks feel seen and we love working with communities.
